What about using one (or two) of the unused Pins as Input pin for a door or window contact (as the AC is quite often build on top of a window or door) and transmit the status change of this contact on change? That would allow e.g. stopping the AC if the door/window is open for more than 5min or similar use cases... [edit] I'm using your SW on a NodeMCU DevBoard ==> having several I/Os unused [/edit] [edit] sorry for posting in issues, don't know how to share a feature request... [/edit]

switched to ESPeasy, the testing one has a full working implementation in it and gives several benefits:

update only on changed values and no fixed cyclic spamming from aircon
easy to have a door contact, status LED, presence/radar sensor, humidity device... added
OTA feature
big dev group with frequnet updates No need for me to further develop here anything, could be closed.
